OS X :: Won't Work With Encrypted Files

Jul 18, 2010

I'm in a situation where I have a file (specifically, a pages document) that I want to encrypt with a password, and in the best of cases, hide it from spotlight searches and such.Any ideas on how to achieve this? Please consider that I have to constantly open, view and edit the archive at times, so a disk image, zip or rar file won't work for me.

I thought FileVault, but I don't really want all of my files with password, and it gave me the "not enough space on disk error" when I tried to do it anyways.I'm assuming this service is available in the OS itself, but I haven't been able to find it just yet. Or can anyone tell me of a program that allows that option without having to leave Finder?

OS X :: Won't Work With Encrypted Dmg Space

Aug 30, 2010

I have been creating multiple encrypted .dmg's from folders of various sizes (and selecting the "read/write" option to allow changes.

What determines how much I can add to one of my created .dmg's? Sometimes when I try adding a file it says right off the bat that the .dmg is full. Other times I am able to add gigs until it says it's full.

Is there any way I can make an unlimited space .dmg and just keep adding to it?

OS X :: Won't Work With Encrypted Backups / Software Options

Dec 8, 2010

Does anyone have recommendations for MacOS (10.6) backup software that meets the following?

I am also interested to learn if rsync (or even better -- an rsync front end) is capable of doing all these things?

*** Gotta haves ***
- STABLE & Proven
- Encrypted backups (AES-128 or better)
- Ability to backup filevault user data, while user is logged in
- Ability to exclude filevault sparse images
- Decent scheduling capabilities
- Allows file/folder/volume exclusions and/or includes
- Backup of clients on the network (prefer multi-platform)
- Some level of file/media validation

OS X :: Secure Deleting Files Within An Encrypted Disc Image?

Jun 28, 2008

I have a question about OSX 10.4.11 and secure deleting. My understanding is that even after secure delete has been used to erase a particular file, older fragments of that same file can remain on the hard drive. Assuming this also applies to secure deleting files from a mounted encrypted disc image (created using the disc utility), would I be correct in saying that even if file fragments remained, once the image is unmounted, those file fragments would be encrypted like everything else within the disc image. I guess what I'm really asking is whether, when one deletes a file from an encrypted disc image, that file data is moved outside of the encrypted data blocks into clean drive space. I don't see why this would be the case but was wondering whether anyone knew.

I appreciate one can always use the free space eraser within disc utility to "mop up" but I'm still interested about individual file deleting.

(Btw, this is my first post and as a courtesy, I did search the forums for this topic but didn't find anything. If I missed something in my search and this has already been answered, apologies!)

Software :: Looking For Mac Encrypted Database Program

Oct 25, 2008

I am looking for a Mac program that is encrypted that can be used to store data such as passwords, personal information, business information, and other information that needs to be secure. I like Bento and just upgraded to Bento 2 but there is no password protection. I have a password to log onto my Mac but I know it's not 100% secure and I'm looking for security as high as 448 bit. A password vault type of program would be nice but I want something that has additional database features. I have done a lot of work on Google but have not been able to find anything.

Applications :: Won't Set Up Encrypted File Server

Oct 24, 2010

my roommate and I want to put together a Mac- or Linux-based file server. I have an old iBook lying around, so it can either run Mac OS X 10.3, or some version of Yellow Dog Linux. (I'd prefer to keep it a Mac system.) I can set up our router to push requests on a certain port to that laptop, with a static IP, but we're concerned with file safety. We're going to be keeping all our personal information on there including any code projects, pictures, homework, etc. My roommate attends university, and will be accessing the server from the uni. wireless network. As such, privacy/encryption is a big concern for us. (We don't want people packet sniffing and getting any personal information or data.)

Does anyone have any suggestions for setting up this kind of server? Hopefully it will be a fun project.

OS X :: Won't Create Partition Scheme (encrypted)

Jan 18, 2010

I'm trying to set up a new partition scheme for all my storage. I just purchased another drive and will buy a 1 or 1.5TB drive next week. I'd like to encrypt certain partitions. Please read on...

Hopefully someone can help me. This is my current setup:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/disk0s2 465Gi 407Gi 58Gi 88% /
devfs 113Ki 113Ki 0Bi 100% /dev

Plato is my iPod - I use 40GB for music, the rest for backing up files.
Wittgenstein is my backup. I exclude backups of ~/Music, another big DIR and ~/Movies and it has room to backup everything else.

I also have an 8GB USB stick that I've named "mnemosyne".

What I am purchasing. I am waiting for my new 500GB 7200 drive to arrive, which will replace the current 500GB main drive. I also purchased a 32GB flash drive.

What I'm getting in the near future. I'm purchasing a 1TB or 1.5TB internal drive and building an external HDD from it within the next two weeks. I'd like to split it to 500GB for backups, the rest for media storage. I'd like to encrypt my current /System dir, my ~/Documents and all preferences from my my Applications.

I've heard filevault is prone to errors. Is this true? Are there any other full disk encryption options for mac? Would dm-crypt work through macports without corrupting my filesystem? Can I use truecrypt and create an encrypted container of say (what is now) ~/Documents

Creating the partition scheme

Questions

1) Can I resize a partition once I've created it if there's physical space left on the HDD?
2) Should I leave some space without a partition? Or should I just name it something benign and use it as a "dropbox"
3) What options do I have for encryption on a mac?
4) Is filevault prone to errors? Any benchmarking tests out there?
5) Can I use dm-crypt through macports and have a FDE setup that won't fail because it's through macports and not native? In other words, I realize all encryption schemes can fail, but I'd like to minimize risk.
6) How would I have some movies on my main HDD and others on the external volume? Is that possible? Or would I need to create two partitions for that? So, say, I want to store 40GB of everything that is currently in ~/Movies on my main HDD. Just create a partition for that, and then another partition on the external volume at 210GB?
7) How do I create separate partitions in mac?
8) How do I easily mount all partitions from all hard drives?
9) Is rsync and a script my best option for encrypting backups since Timemachine has no security whatsoever for backups?
10) What filesystem should I use? (I'm only using OS X on my macbook)
11) Any sample partition map you could share with me that will help me build this properly?
12) How do I set up a link so Mac OS X will read the partitions like they are now and display over on the left side of Finder.app as they show now? I.e. a list of Desktop, $username, Applications, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Can't Mount An Encrypted Volume

May 9, 2012

I decided not to use just one partition with my disk because i wanted to separte important documents from the OS and apps so reformated my disk with 2 partitions 1 for OS and apps and one for docs. I also wanted to keep the docs partition secure so it was my intention to use filevault... however it learned that file vault would only work on my whole disk and not on a sigle volume.  At least thats the only option i get when i go to "Turn on FileVault" in the Security and Privacy of system preferences. So what i tried next was to reformat the "docs" partition i have created using the Mac OS extended (journaled) encrypted option.  This option seemed to work but after formating the partition, I could not mount the volume.

Question is: what is the best way for what i am trying to do and how to do it. 

a) is there a way to use FileVault on a single volume instead of the whle disk?

b) alternatively, how to format an encrypted partition and mount it?

MacBook Pro :: Websites Not Encrypted - Can't Recognize Certificate

Sep 3, 2010

Are any of you having this problem? Yesterday I installed the most recent patch from Apple in my Macbook Pro, can�t remember the number of it, sorry about that. Today I noticed a serious fault in my computer. When I�m trying to access any website that is supposed to be encrypted (ie. Paypal, banks, etc) they aren�t encrypted or are only partially encrypted. I am pretty sure that this wasn�t happening before. I haven�t installed any software recently and everything was working fine until yesterday, the day I installed the security update. So I guess it�s not a coincidence. When I try it on Firefox the websites are not encrypted and when I try it on Safari I get a warning from Safari saying that it can�t recognise the certificate or that is invalid. Any of you have experienced this?

OS X :: Encrypted Disk Image - Any Way To Verify Backup

Jun 23, 2010

So my current backup strategy uses two western digital external hard drives. The first I have permanently connected to my iMac using Time Machine. On the second I use CCC to backup to every week and keep it in the trunk of my car as an offsite backup.

Just had a couple of questions to make sure I'm prepared for the worse...
- What temperatures can hard drives survive at? Is there a risk of it overheating in my car?
- I've read about some issues with CCC's backups. I'm currently backing up to an encrypted disk image - is there any way to verify the backup? If I just cloned the drive instead so it was bootable is there any way to encrypt it? And is Super Duper more reliable?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Recover From Encrypted Hard Drive

Apr 20, 2012

I had a necessity to install from an encrypted Hard drive using the Lion USB Boot Drive. When I attempted to restore from the drive, I was unable to do so.

After finally completing a complete install of Lion, I was able to use Migration assistant. But I still had to reinstall and reconfigure several things necessary to my business. 

Is this a shortcoming of a reconstruction process or is there something I should have done?

OS X Mavericks :: Rebooting Encrypted HD From Recovery Mode

Dec 6, 2014

  I have Mavericks installed as the OS on a MBP 2011.  I had some hangups with my encrypted harddrive.  After using disk utility from an account to verify and repair the disk I was instructed to boot in recovery mode (by pressing command and 'R' after reboot).  I've now used disk utility in recovery mode, the hard drive is repaired, but when I restart the computer I get a folder with a "?" on it that flashes.  Very different from the password screen popping up within seconds after booting (since it's encrypted). 

I also verified and repaired permissions and am wondering if that could have affected the order of things during booting.  Since the HD is encrypted I know the password needs to be entered before system can use any of the information on it, including the OS. 

I prefer the idea of not useing time capsule since I believe I'd need to repair the HD again.  The idea of unencrypting after a backup and then encrypting after repair doesn't sound appealing either. 

How do I reboot the system so I can enter the encryption password and allow the system to boot as normal?

OS X Mavericks :: Can't Mount (CoreStorage) Encrypted Volume

Aug 24, 2014

I use the following setup:SSD: SystemInternal HDD: Data (Documents, Music, etc.)Both disks are encrypted via the Core Storage utility.It seems I can't mount the "Data" disk anymore.I wanted to download a random pdf which failed. ("Downloads Folder" is on "Data" Volume) Restarted the machine and now all aliased folders which refer to the "Data" volume have a question mark overlay rendered on their icon.It's not possible to mount/unlock the "Data" disk through disk utility a. The "Data" volume is, according to DiskUtility quite full (only 16MB left). I have the suspicion that this small amount of space left in combination with the encryption causes some trouble.What to do?

ITunes For Mac :: IPhone Backup Encrypted But No Password Set

Nov 30, 2014

I haven't seen a response from Apple.  When I go into iTunes it shows that my backup will be encrypted with a password.  I have NEVER backed it up to iTunes, only to the cloud.  When I try to disable the encrypt option it asks for a password that I have never set.  Many others have said to try every password you've ever had for iTunes as well as your security code on your phone.  Oh and why not "000" and "1234" while you are at it.  None of these work.  It isn't the end of the world for me because I still have the phone and it is backed up on the cloud, but what is the deal Apple?  How can I get or set my password since I have never set it in the past?

OS X :: Burning Encrypted Dvd's In Toast / Program To Remove Encryption?

Dec 5, 2008

I just recently got my first mac, after getting completely fed up with Windows on plenty of pc's i took the plunge and made the switch and have zero complaints or problems thus far.

I used to burn plenty of DVD's on my pc's and my first line of business with the mac was to find a way to continue my collection. From my limited research I found out Toast was the easiest and most straightforward way to burn DVD's. I jumped on it and bought it without looking too far into it(possible mistake in the end?). went to copy a dvd and turns out it does not get through the encryption on DVD's(on current settings).

I'm looking for some help in burning encrypted dvd's. Whether it is another program to break the encryption and allow Toast to burn it, or another program altogether to do it all in
one step
